Pollinator Waystation Support

Welcome to the Headwaters Chapter of the Virginia Master Naturalists’ Monarchs and More! page providing insights and resources to support our imperiled Monarch butterflies and other pollinators.

Pollinators are essential to ensuring the food supply for humans and animals.

Pollinator populations are struggling in the face of human development and large scale agriculture. We can help them by making space for plants they need for food and shelter.

Monarch butterflies are among the most iconic and threatened of the many insect pollinators. Milkweed plants are critical to the survival of monarchs. They are the only plants monarch caterpillars eat.
